My First BDR! Riding Over The Coast Range and Motorcycle Camping: Oregon BDR Route 6, Day 1

My first full-length (unofficial) Backcountry Discovery Route adventure was an amazing one! Two friends and I set out to tackle Oregon Backcountry Discovery Route 6, which runs from Coos Bay/Reedsport Oregon all the way over the Oregon Coast Range and the Oregon Cascades to Crescent Lake, Oregon. OBDR Route 6 is short enough to do in a few days, and that's exactly what we set out to do on this trip. Here on day 1, we meet up as a group and head out from my house in Albany, Oregon down the freeway, through Drain and Elkton, Oregon, and finally to the start (technically the end) of Oregon Back Country Discovery Route 6 just south of Reedsport, Oregon. From there, we headed up into the wilderness and through the Elliot State Forest, before settling down at a convenient logging landing for an evening of motorcycle camping, dinner, campfire, beverages and a Mr. Puff Puff. Multi-day motocamping trips like this are amazing, especially when you get to explore awesome areas like the OBDR route 6 with good friends. Thanks for watching this ADV riding and moto camping adventure!
